I think this does miss the justification for tail_slice and wrap_slice to not
overlap, i.e. don't we need something like:

	- `tail_slice` and `wrap_slice` point to non-overlapping sub-ranges of `data` in all
	  branches (in the `rx <= tx` case, `wrap_slice` ends at `rx - 1` which is strictly less
	  than `tx` where `tail_slice` starts; in the other cases one of the slices is empty),
	  so creating two `&mut` references from them does not violate aliasing rules.

With this considered,
